>Description:
	Altqd rc.d script hangs when stopping using i.e.: service altqd stop,
	I've seen this for years.  So maybe a bug report.  Nb. old ALTQ in
	kernel still works well these days.

>How-To-Repeat:
	service altqd start; sleep 15; service altqd stop

	on a kernel with ALTQ compiled in.
>Fix:
	My fix is this patch to /etc/rc.d/altqd:

	of course the developers should have a better solution. :P
